Benefits of technology

This solution provides high accuracy in determining a Mobile Device's position both indoors and outdoors, potentially surpassing traditional systems by using recognizable attributes like shapes and colors, and can be integrated with other positioning mechanisms as part of a Hybrid Positioning System to calibrate or enhance location computation.

Problems solved by technology

However, an error in position of the portable device can occur with respect to the position of the shape.
Where all this makes sense is indoors since GPS may not accurate enough to compute the position of the user when the user is next to a position of a shape while the position computed in relation to the position of the shape provides a more accurate position of the user.

second embodiment

[0058]FIG. 8 shows the operation of the Position Identification Solution according to the present invention, which uses a Mobile Device 1-1 including a Scanning and Image Recognition Mobile Application 6-1 running on an Operating System 4-12, a Camera 4-6, and a Shape Database 6-2. The Mobile Device 1-1 is connected to the Wireless Network 8-2, which in turn is connected to the Internet 2-8. The Wireless Network may use standards such as cellular phone systems, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and WiMAX Mobile Devices. Some of the components that use these standards may include cellular phones, smartphones like the iPhone™, Android™, Windows™, and Blackberry™, tablets, and wearable devices. A Positioning Server 8-1 is connected to the Internet 2-8. The Mobile Device 1-1 is capable of communicating with the Positioning Server 8-1. The Positioning Server 8-1 includes a Shape-Position Database 6-3 containing a plurality of Shape-Position entries, comprising a first entry Shape 1-Position 1 7-10, a se...

third embodiment

[0059]FIG. 9 illustrates the operation of one of the embodiments of the current invention according to the current invention. In this case, the Position Identification Solution uses colors instead of shapes and associates a color with each position in the plurality of positions. A plurality of Known Positions is defined in the area where the Mobile Device position needs to be determined. The plurality of Known Positions includes a first Position 1 7-4, a second Position 2 7-5, and a third Position 3 7-6. A first Color 1 9-1 is placed at Position 1 7-4, a second Color 2 9-2, different from Color 1 9-1, is placed at Position 2 7-5, and a third Color 3 9-3, different from both Color 1 9-1 and Color 2 9-2, is placed at Position 3 7-6. The Color Database 9-4 in the Mobile Device 1-1 is loaded with information describing all the colors associated with all positions. For example, a first Color 1 DB Entry 9-7 is created in the database describing Color 1 9-1, a second entry Color 2 DB Entry...

Abstract

A Position Identification Solution offers a way to determine the position of a Mobile Device by defining a set of known positions and an associated set of objects, shapes, or attributes. A Mobile Device determines its position by scanning an object, shape, or attribute using an included camera, and a Mobile Application running on the Mobile Device recognizes a specific object, shape, or attribute, and determines a corresponding position, which is used to compute the position of the Mobile Device. The Position Identification Solution may use shapes, colors, or combinations of shape and colors. The Position Identification Solution may be used together with other positioning systems in a Hybrid Positioning System to compute the position of the Mobile Device with increased accuracy.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The cellular network is a communication system that interconnects billions of Mobile Devices to one another and, in turn, to the Internet. The Internet is a communication system that provides connectivity to billions of users with laptops, notebooks, desktops, Internet Enabled TV sets, and mobile devices coupled to the Internet either through the cellular network or via other types of wireless connectivity standards such as cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and WiMAX mobile devices. A set of standards for cellular phones includes, for example, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, 4G, and 5G which are used by mobile devices to send and receive data, video or voice. The G stands for Generation and LTE stands for Long-Term Evolution. Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and WiMAX standards may be used in cellular phones, smartphones like the iPhone™, Android™, Windows™, and Blackberry™, tablets, and wearable devices.[0002]In recent years, Mobile Devices have been provided with means t...
